Geschiedenis

The Breast International Group (BIG) is an international not-for-profit organisation that represents the largest global network of academic research groups dedicated to finding cures for breast cancer.

BIG was founded as a network of collaborative groups in 1999 to address fragmentation in European breast cancer research. However, groups from other parts of the world rapidly expressed interest in joining BIG, and today it gathers 56 like-minded research groups from around the world and reaches across more than 50 countries and 6 continents. BIG connects thousands of hospitals and world-class breast cancer experts who collaborate on pioneering breast cancer research.

BIG's mission is to facilitate and accelerate breast cancer research at the international level. We are proud to be both global AND local, helping breast cancer patients from all over the world. Because faster results mean faster direct benefits to patients.
